b. Primary/Secondary Functional Process: A&E

3. REFERENCES:

a. DLM 4000.25- 1, Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures (MILSTRIP)

b. Joint Ordnance Commanders Group (JOCG) Ammunition and Explosives DD FORM 

1348-1A Information Paper, dated November 28, 2016 (see Enclosure 4)

c. Joint Conventional Ammunition Policies and Procedures (JCAPP) 8, Quality 

Assurances, https://www.us.army.mil/suite/page/631349

4. APPROVED CHANGE(S): Green highlighting identifies substantive changes subsequent 

to staffing. 

a. Brief Overview of Change: This change establishes a standard IRRD continuation 

page containing additional data elements required for A&E issue and receipt processes. The 

change updates MILSTRIP to document existing undocumented versions of the DD Form 1348-

1A and DD 1348-2 currently used for the A&E issue release/receipt process.

b. Background: In 1995, the Joint Ordnance Commanders Group (JOCG) approved 

establishment of a version of the IRRD for use with A&E that includes sixteen additional data 

elements to improve management and accountability. The A&E version of the IRRD was 

implemented within the A&E community and has been in use for the past 20 years. Both the 

Army and Navy AIT systems auto-generate the form for A&E issue transactions. Although the 

A&E IRRD has been in use for years, the form was never submitted for incorporation in 

MILSTRIP and is not addressed in current or past versions of MILSTRIP (Reference 3.a.). 

Refer to JOCG A&E DD FORM 1348-1A Information Paper (Reference 3.b.) for additional 

background.
Attchment, ADC 1252

Page 2

c. Approved Change in Detail: Update DLM 4000.25- 1 (MILSTRIP) to include a 

unique IRRD (DD Form 1348-1A or DD 1348-2) Continuation Page for A&E. The continuation 

page will accommodate 15 additional data elements numbered 28 through 42 as detailed in the 

draft revision at Enclosures 1-3. The continuation page will allow sufficient format flexibility to 

permit automated production and minimize additional system changes. When produced 

electronically the continuation page data may be displayed on the same page as the primary DD 

Form 1348-1A data. The continuation page may include continuation of existing Block 27 

additional data. 

d. Revisions to DLM 4000.25-1 Manuals:

(1) Revise Chapter 5, Release and Receipt of Materiel, to add the new IRRD

Continuation Page for A&E issue release/receipt as shown in Enclosure 1. 

(2) Revise Appendix 1.36, IRRD Continuation Page, to add examples of IRRD 

continuation pages, as shown in Enclosure 2.

(3) Revise Appendix 1.35, IRRD with Three of Nine Bar Coding and TwoDimensional (PDF-417) Symbol, to update the data content and formatting of the PDF 417 

symbol, as shown in Enclosure 3. 

e. Transaction Flow: Standard transaction flow applies with no revisions.

f. Alternatives: Establish an A&E unique version of the DD 1348-1A with a new 1348 

designation number. The form would include the 15 additional data elements not currently listed 

on DD Form 1348-1A addressed in Reference 3.a. The additional data elements will allow 

standaridization for the A&E version of the DD 1348-1A, not including these elements is not a 

viable option due to the Joint Service agreements. Implementation of this altenative will ensure 

these elements, that today are missing or blank, are included. 

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: To formalize/standardize the data elements currently used by 

multiple Services and supported by all Service representatives to the JOCG.

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: Standardizes format and information used for A&E issue/receipt 

transactions, provides additional data elements beneficial for the issue and receipt of A&E and 

officially documents a standing 20 year-old process.

b. Disadvantages: None noted.

7. ASSUMPTIONS USED OR WILL BE USED IN THE CHANGE OR NEW 

DEVELOPMENT:

a. The current A&E format DD Form 1348-1A with additional 15 data elements will 

continue to be acceptable pending implementation of any required system changes.
Attchment, ADC 1252

Page 3

b. The standard format DD Form 1348-1A addressed in Reference 3.a. will continue to 

be acceptable pending implementation of any required system changes. 

c. Barcodes, when required/applied will follow procedures and criteria documented in 

MILSTRIP Appendix AP1.36 (Reference 3.a.)

8. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Application of barcodes will comply 

with established standards addressed in DLM 4000.25-1, Appendices 1.35 and 1.36. 

9. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: A similar format as 

identified is currently in use by Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, which will 

continue in use pending funding of system modifications. Implementation by Air Force is 

dependent upon AIS modernization plans. Target Implementation date is December 2019. 

10. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: Not specifically established but a cost avoidance 

is realized by reduced research and recovery based on the availability of additional data 

associated with traceability and accountability.

11. IMPACT:

a. New DLMS Data Elements: Update Logistics Data Resources Management System 

(LOGDRMS) to add the new data elements as follows:

(1) Ammunition Defect Code. Defect codes are six digit, alphanumeric codes 

that complement and/or supplement Condition Codes by identifying specific reasons for 

Condition Code assignment and/or identifying specific defects or conditions. Refer to Joint 

Ordnance Commanders Group (JOCG) Joint Conventional Ammunition Policies and

Procedures (JCAPP) 8. The Ammunition Defect Codes are located within the JCAPP-8 for 

ammuniation D/C information, D/C tables are maintained and located on pages J8-18 and J8-

36. 

(2) Servicable Condition Expiration Date for Ammunitions and Explosives 

(A&E). (Also known as Maintenance/Expiration/Next Inspection Due Date (M/E/N

Date)). A date is required for all items having an assigned shelf-life, service life, certification 

cycle, overhaul cycle, Recertification Due Date , Maintenance Due Date, or other noted 

specific life limit. The date entered will be the date (month and year) on which the serviceable 

condition expires, e.g., “08/17.” The day is always the last day of the month indicated. (This 

example identifies the next inspection due/overage date as August 30, 2017.).

(3) Net Explosive Weight (NEW). The sum of all the explosive weights in 

pounds of the item, including high explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics without the weight 

of the packaging, casings, bullets, ect 

b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: None identified.
Attchment, ADC 1252

Page 4

c. Automated Information Systems (AIS): Combat Ammunition System (CAS), 

Ordnance Information System (OIS), and Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) need to 

implement the changes to the DD 1348-1A and associated continuation page for A & E related 

shipments. 

d. Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS): No impact

e. Non-DLM 4000.25 Series Publications: Relevant Component guidance should be 

updated to reference the DLMS-compliant IRRD A&E Continuation Page.

RESOLUTION:

Originator Response/Comment Disposition

1. Army

Concur

2. Navy Concur with comment 1. Page 2, para 4.c. states "The 

continuation page will provide 

provisions

for inclusion of 16 additional data 

elements numbered 28 through 43." 

We

eliminated block 41 project code as it 

duplicated blocks 57-59 on the

1348-1A. The number should be 

adjusted to read "The continuation page 

will

provide provisions for inclusion of 15 

additional data elements numbered 28

through 42." 

2. Page 2, para 4.f. and para 7.a. states 

"The form would include the 16

additional data elements" This should 

be changed to 15 for the same reasons

stated above.

3. Enclosure 1, page 1, para C5.1.10.1 

should state data elements 28 through

42 vice 28 through 43 for same reason 

stated in comment #1 above.

4. Enclosure 2, page 1, Example 1 

narrative remarks, the is an underscore

between the words "used_for" on the 

first line. It should be removed. 
Attchment, ADC 1252

Page 5

Originator Response/Comment Disposition

5. Enclosure 2, page 2, Example 2 Note 

states "Highlighted boxes reflect

typical Continuation Sheet data." There 

are not highlighted boxes this

statement needs to be removed.

6. Enclosure 2, page 3, Example 3 is 

missing the continuation page portion

of the example. The continuation page 

is supposed to be displayed on the

same page as the 1348-1A in example 3 

as indicated in the example narrative.

I believe during formatting the 

continuation page portion of the 

example was

dropped. Both the 1348-1A and the 

continuation page need to be displayed

on the same page. The word document 

show what the example should reflect.

7. Enclosure 2, page 5, the table is 

missing item 39 TCN and needs to be

added.

Note: Example 3 of Enclosure 2 is an illustration only and is not actual size. It is 

acceptable for AIT systems to print both the 1348-1A and the continuation page 

on a single page when space permits. The sample reflects the 1348-1A and A&E 

Continuation Page printed on a single page.

AP1.36.1. IRRD (DD 1348-1A or DD Form 1348-2) Continuation Page. There are two 

unique continuation pages addressed in AP1.36, the standard continuation page 

used with all commodities other than A&E, and a continuation page specific to 

A&E. The A&E continuation page may be produced by AIT systems either on the 

same page as the 1348-1A if space permits, or separately. When the continuation 

page is used as an extension of the IRRD Block 27, it will contain the following minimum 

data:

AP1.36.1.1. Continuation Page (Title).

AP1.36.1.2. Document Number and suffix (from requisition/shipment).

AP1.36.1.3. Quantity Shipped and Unit of Issue (processed for shipment).

AP1.36.1.4. Page number and total number of continuation pages.

AP1.36.1.5. PDF417 2D bar code or Macro PDF417 2D bar codes. See Appendix 

1.35 for included data elements, their respective data identifiers, and print quality 

requirements.

AP1.36.1.6. Code 39 linear bar codes with human-readable information. Each 

item’s serial number used for tracking under a UIT program or in support of DoD policy 

for the application of IUID in supply processes, as applicable, will be printed and 

encoded with a Code 39 linear bar code. This requirement provides backward 

compatibility for distribution systems unable to decode the PDF417 2D bar code 

information. Each item will have no more than one encoded serial number; some items 

may not have a serial number (i.e., the item only has a UII or the item is not serialized). 

See AP1.36.4 for implementation business rules.

Enclosure 4, JOCG Issued A&E Information Paper

JOINT ORDNANCE COMMANDERS GROUP (JOCG)

A&E DD FORM 1348-1A INFORMATION PAPER

 

28 Nov 2016

Issue: The March 1995 Ammunition & Explosives (A&E) version of DD Form 1348-1A Issue 

Release/Receipt Document (IRRD) was never incorporated into DLM 4000.25-1, Military Standard 

Requisitioning and Issue Procedures (MILSTRIP) or other Joint/DoD Document. Without a Joint 

Service standard on the use, application, or completion of the unique fields, the blocks are often left 

blank, not completed as intended, and are inconsistent between services, and organizations. 

Additionally, the A&E version of the DD Form 1348-1A is not an officially recognized DoD 

document without inclusion in MILSTRIP.

Background: In 1995 a new DD Form 1348-1A IRRD was developed under the purview of the 

Joint Ordnance Commanders Group (JOCG) for use with A&E material. All service components 

participated in form development. The intent was to incorporate additional data fields to address, 

accountability gaps, and incorporate additional safety, and security data consistent with DoD policy 

for A&E. The form was programmed into the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guards, 

ordnance data management/ information system and placed in use between 1995 and 1998. A 

concurrent effort was to have ensured incorporation of the form in appropriate Joint and Service 

documents. The A&E version of the 1348-1A was discussed at the June 1997 JOCG-Munitions 

Supply Subgroup meeting. The decision at the meeting was to present proposed actions to the 

Executive Committee for approval. From that point forward there is no documented history on 

action taken. We know the form is in use by all Service Branches with exception of the Air Force, 

and is auto-generated by ordnance data management and information systems. We also know the 

A&E version of DD Form 1348-1A was never incorporated into a Joint Service/DoD document nor 

is it addressed in the current governing MILSTRIP document DLM 4000.25-1. 

Discussion: The March 1995 A&E version of DD Form 1348-1A added 15 new blocks to the form, 

blocks 28 through 42. Fields added include signature and date blocks for inspection and issue, a 

block currently used to document MRI to include lot serial data, blocks for Net Explosives Weight, 

Component Approval Authority (CAA) numbers (entered for items requiring CAA letters to 

accompany shipment), and GBL/TCN numbers. The March 1995 issue of the 1348-1A 

subsequently incorporated the mandatory United States Munitions List (USML) statement 

addressed in CFR 22 Part 121.1 and as directed in Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Logistics 

and Material Readiness Memorandum dated 21 Oct. 2002.

Status: JOCG AIT SG drafted a PDC for inclusion of the March 1995 A&E version of DD Form 

1348-1A, and has submitted to the DoD Supply Process Review Committee (SPRC)/DoD 

MILSTRIP Administrator for incorporation in DLM 4000.25-1 (MILSTRIP). Incorporation of the 

March 1995 version of A&E DD Form 1348-1A is consistent with chain of custody documentation 

and physical security policy addressed in DoDI 5100.76 Safeguarding Conventional Arms, 

Ammunition and Explosives (AA&E), and DoD 5100.76-M Physical Security of Sensitive 

Conventional AA&E.
